With RH3 if I use up2date to download a new kernel I also get the source. with FC3 if I use up2date to download the latest kernel that doesn't happen. If I change the configuration to ask for source then the downloads fail for want of a file on the mirror. I guess I had this naive hope that if I say I want the source that corresponds to up2date updates that I can get it. It sounds like from the last reply that I have to manually rummage around multiple mirror sites (all of which seem to have a different inventory) looking for the corresponding src.rpm. I also had the naive view that "mirror" meant "exact copy". If manual rummaging is what I have to do I'll do it, but I was hoping for something less tedious. -- Regards, Glenn
